HMS Cavalier - Thank you for your support!
6 September 2010
HMS Cavalier has been crowned 'Best Education Project' in the National Lottery Awards 2010. The winners of this year's National Lottery Awards were announced at a special star-studded celebratory Awards event, broadcast live on BBC One from London's Roundhuose on Saturday 4 September - The National Lottery's Big Night.
The winners were chosen by a public vote which took place earlier this summer. The total number of public votes cast for all the competing projects was in excess of 192,000.
Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust would like to thank all of those that have shown their support to HMS Cavalier by voting for them. Without your votes, this award would not have been possible. With the opening of No.1 Smithery back in July 2010, this has been an important year for The Historic Dockyard Chatham and winning this award gives great recognition to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes by our education team to ensure that their educational visitors (including schools, Scout groups, Sea Cadets and many others) receive the highest quality experience when visiting the site. It is also recognition to all the staff and volunteers that dedicate their time to restoring and ensuring that HMS Cavalier is able to be used as an important educational resource.
You can watch the awards event on the BBC iPlayer until Saturday 11 September if you missed the show (or if you want to see it again!) by going to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tp1wq/The_National_Lotterys_Big_Night/
